The collared sprite, also called the collared pipistrelle, was described by Kock and Storch in 1996 as Thainycteris aureocollaris, and many sources still list it in the genus Arielulus. It is a vesper bat found from southern China through north-west Thailand and northern Laos to northern and central Vietnam (Wikipedia; Mammal Diversity Database).
No measurements, roost or diet detail was found in the sources used, so this is a short entry.
